Good news for you then: Constitution isn't a one-person show! All three cast members pull their weight and have dramatically significant time in the spotlight.
I saw the show off-Broadway, and I found it thrilling and theatrical -- and experiencing it in a room full of people was, to me, a crucial part of the excitement. It's not just a lecture. There are elements of lecture, but there are also elements of storytelling, drama, and debate. There was no time during the show that I felt like I was attending a college class or a TED Talk. I was skeptical about the debate that forms the end of the show -- it sounded up front like a cutesy gimmick -- but it was thrilling and vital and alive.
I loved the show, and I think it's definitely worth seeing. Now, I saw it on $45 TDF tickets and would not spend $350 or whatever it is for premium seats, but I wouldn't do that for any show. But It's definitely worth whatever you think a fair ticket price to a Broadway play should cost. |
